Taking in to concideration the son Griffith that I previously mentioned, he has a different surname which may indicate that Gwen had been married before.  ;)

Marriage 1867
Llangar/Cynwyd St John
John Jones to either Gwen Edwards or Mary Williams
http://www.northwalesbmd.org.uk

Alternative source only gives Gwen Edwards
Corwen, Merionethshire
Jun 1/4 1867

That looks a good match,MM   :D :D

I'll do a double check on the 1861 to see if the Robert Edwards was 21 and not 11  :)

You guys are godsends!

As I was writing this down... it could be that Winifred who was born in 1871 and not showing on the census was the result of Gwen's death.  I do know that she did not know her mother, or at least her mother died when she was very young... so Winnifred being 10 on the 1881 census with Elizabeth makes perfect sense.

This is so great... !
